Residential Home Inspections
Know the Home Before You Buy It
Buying a home is one of the biggest investments you will make. Dirk’s job is to help you understand its condition before you commit.
He finds safety concerns, moisture problems, electrical issues, roofing concerns, and other defects that could become expensive or dangerous.
Then he explains what he found in plain language.

Common Questions
Do I need to be there?
No, but we recommend it. Being there lets Dirk show you what he finds.
Will you find everything?
No inspector can. We report on what is visible and accessible at the time of the inspection. Follow up with the qualified professionals named in your report.
What are the most common issues you find?
Moisture intrusion and loose toilets top the list.
When will I get my report?
Most reports are delivered within 24 hours.
Can you test the A/C in cooler weather?
Not safely. If the outdoor temperature has dropped below 65 degrees in the last 24 hours, we cannot run the air conditioner without risking damage. We will note it in your report.
